Apple Virgin Mojito

December 29th, 2016 Drink of the Week 1 comment

Proof that you can concoct a fancy drink of sorts wherever you are! There was no juicer or blender at the house we were at when I made this drink so I smooshed up the apple up with a stick blender inside a coffee plunger! It didn’t create much juice but gave a nice apple pulp that took the place of crushed ice (because there was also no ice in the house).

Ingredients:
Juice of 2 lemons or limes
2 spoons of sugar or some honey
A handful of fresh mint leaves
1 green apple
Fizzy water

Method:
Mix the lime juice, sugar and mint in the bottom of a glass and stir to combine
Smoosh the apple to create some pulp/juice – add to the glass
Top with fizzy water

Enjoy!

Dry Bars (and a site update)

Mrs D's Blog

I wrote that post this morning about our dinner party and then got in the shower and worried that people might think I was a bad mummy for letting my 10-year-old run a bar…(albeit with lolly money and Sprite Zero on offer..!).
